- Compressors powered by mains electricity or other sources of power are used to deliver streams of compressed gas for a variety of uses e.g. in building air conditioning systems, in spray painting, in small factories and vehicle repair installations, in compressed air systems for hospitals and laboratories and in the catering industry,
- the majority of compressors are oil-lubricated, the oil serving to lubricate the moving parts, removing heat and catching fine particles in the air being compressed.
- the major components of a typical compressor are illustrated in Fig. 1. Air from an intake 10 passes through intake filter 1 and thence via line 12 to a rotary vane or screw compressor unit 2 driven by electric motor 3. A mixture of compressed air, water and oil is expelled from the compression unit and travels via line 14 to an oil separation unit 16 shown diagrammatically in Fig.2.
- the stream of compressed air entering the unit 16 impinges onto a baffle 18 and the larger droplets coalesce and fall into a sump region 20.
- the air stream contains droplets of oil of size 0.3-1.5 ⁇ m, which are separated by means of a coalescing filter 4 of wrapped or molded glass micro-fibers so as to reduce contamination and recover the oil.
- Coalesced oil returns from the interior of the cartridge via a scavenging line 22 and line 12 to the compressor unit.
- the arrangement shown is for a vertical filter with flow in an out-to-in direction, but an in-to-out flow direction is commonplace, as also is a horizontal filter arrangement.
- Filtered air from the unit 16 passes via line 26 to the air side 28 of an after-cooler 5 and thence via output line 30 to a tank or distribution network or the like. Oil from the sump region 20 passes through filter 6 and the oil side 32 of the after-cooler 5. It then passes via line 34 into the compressor unit 2.
- Fig. 3 shows the pressure drop (Mb) against time for a typical coalescing filter 4.
- the pressure drop rises steeply during an initial period whilst the filter is wetting out with oil. It then rises only gradually until the bores become clogged with contaminant, at which time a region A is reached where the pressure drop rises sharply, operation of the compressor becomes inefficient and the expected output may not be achieved, for example after 12 months operation of the compressor.
- the time B at which a rapidly increasing pressure drop is experienced may be reduced, e.g. to about 6 months.
- a compressor is a device of relatively high value, is protected by the intake filter 1 and the oil filter 6 and has a coalescing filter which is intended to ensure that the air leaving the compressor conforms to defined quality levels.
- Users of the compressor may replace the filters supplied by the original equipment manufacturer with matching parts made by third parties whose quality is not under the control of the original equipment manufacturer and whose performance may be significantly poorer than that of the genuine spare part. There is therefore a risk that the replacement filter may fail before the manufacturer's recommended service interval for the filter has elapsed. There is also a risk that the user may not adhere to recommended service intervals. In consequence the compressor may become subject to excessive wear and may fail prematurely, or the quality of the output air may become deteriorated which may cause damage to downstream equipment.
- the original equipment manufacturer may be faced with a repair or warranty claim that is not justified, and may suffer undeserved damage to his reputation for supplying high quality equipment.
- the air from the compressor, even after passage through the coalescing filter may still contain undesirably high amounts of oil that may be in the form of very fine droplets or may be in the form of vapor.
- the extent of purification required will depend on the use to which the compressed air is to be put, which can be e.g. to blow dirt away from workpieces etc., for pneumatic controls and instrumentation and air tools, building air conditioning, paint spraying and pharmaceutical and electronic applications, To remove trace contaminants, it is common to provide one or more inline filters.
- Fig. 4 shows an in-line coalescing filter having a filter head 40 provided with an air inlet 42 and an air outlet 44.
- a replaceable filter cartridge 46 is supported from the head 40 e.g.
- a tie rod 48 can be arranged for flow in an in- to-out direction as shown or in the reverse direction.
- Oil collects in a lower region of a filter bowl 48 and may be removed at intervals by means of a drain valve 40.
- a drain valve 40 Increasingly so-called "spun-on" filters are being used in which the filter and housing are supplied as a single disposable unit, which becomes threadedly attached to the filter head.
- an adsorbent cartridge filled with activated carbon replaces the coalescing filter 46.
- Oil coalescing filters and oil vapor removal cartridges are described, for example, in GB-A-1236396, 1557821, and 1609519, US-A-3841484 and EP-B-0081297, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Again the user may not service the in-line filter with manufacturer's original parts and may not adhere to specified service intervals.
- the present invention aims to solve the above problem by providing replaceable filter elements in which there is concealed tamper-proof machine- readable identification.
- identification may be a single bit identification (i.e. the presence or absence of a record in memory or a device that will give a predetermined response to an interrogating signal) or it may be a multi-bit identification.
- a multi-bit identification may be used to provide a code, which may provide a family indication (e.g. manufacturer and model number) and a serial number, together with, if capacity permits, additional information such as date and place of manufacture and the like.codes may be provided in a variety of forms. The stored information may be used to enable a check to be carried out that an approved filter is fitted.
- a change in serial number of the filter may be used to monitor compliance with approved times for filter exchange.
- a stored serial number can also be used to trace the manufacturing details of the filter in question from the records held by the manufacturer and assist in tracing the cause of the defect.
- non-contact identification technologies that may be applied to a filter to identify it with varying degrees of detail from mere type authentication to records of serial number etc. are set out below:
- a concealed strip of soft magnetic material in or on the filter which can be interrogated by a signal from a reader connected to an antenna in the filter head and having a frequency at which the strip is resonant.
- the resonance condition generates hysteresis or harmonics that are detectable to indicate that a filter is present and has the correct tag.
- a resonant circuit tag comprising an insulating substrate carrying a closed loop of a conductive element and a capacitive element which may conveniently be provided by two separate areas of thin metal on either side of the substrate.
- the tag may be attached to or built into the filter at a suitable location and may be interrogated by a RF signal at or near the resonant frequency of the circuit.
- An interrogating coil or antenna may be built into the filter head.
- a magnetostrictive tag attached to the filter can incorporate one or more strips of magnetostrictive material and a strip of magnetic material of high coercivity, the magnetostrictive material resonating mechanically in the presence of an aalternating magnetic field of the appropriate frequency.
- the interrogating magnetic field may be from a coil in the filter head that can be connected to a source of an appropriate AC frequency.
- a reader sensitive to a magnetic field of the appropriate frequency and also built into the filter head can detect resonance.
- a magnetically coupled transponder that operates at e.g. about 125KHz is built into the filter. It may typically comprise a single integrated circuit attached to an antenna and have a read only memory, a power rectifying circuit, an oscillator and a driving circuit. Since the memory is permanent, power is not required to maintain the identity of the tag, which may be purely passive. Transponders of this type are available e.g. from Biomark of Boise, ID, USA and from Trovan.
- An electric field coupled transponder which may be a passive device operating at about 2.5 GHz and which may use backscatter modulation.
- the transponder may if desired adopt the Bluetooth specification for wireless connectivity and may form part of a piconet.
- the filter may also be marked by a marker that requires an electrical contact for recovery of the stored information.
- a ROM chip e.g. a so-called "silicon serial number" DS 2401 is available from Dallas Semiconductor. Such a chip is less than 5 mm square and only 1.5 mm deep and can readily be fitted to or encapsulated within a filter. It requires connection to ground (which may be to an end cap or side wall of the filter) and has a single pin for control, address, data and power, so that only a single lead going to a single contact area on the filter is required.
- the intake filter 1 carries a transponder 50 that can be interrogated by a first antenna 52 connected to a reader 53 controlled by a control unit 55 which may be a device controlled by a microprocessor or microcontroller,
- the coalescing filter also carries a transponder 54 that can be interrogated by a second antenna 56 in the unit 15 and also connected to the reader 53.
- the control unit also receives signals from devices that check the correct operation of the compressor, e.g. from an oil level sensor 58, an oil temperature sensor 60 and an exit air temperature 62. On change of a filter, or on re-start of the compressor after an interruption, the control unit 55 causes the reader 53 to supply interrogating signals to the antennae 52,56.
- Returned data is checked to ascertain whether correct cartridges are in place. Assuming that both part identities and serial numbers are recorded in the memories of the transponders 50, 54 stored instructions in the control unit 55 cause this information to be recorded in memory 57. If one or other filter does not provide a correct response or any response, then the control unit causes an indication of this fact to be stored in memory, It may also cause a warning to appear at display 59 and/or it may cause inhibit further operation of the compressor.
- the control unit 55 may be part of a service/diagnostic system for the compressor or vacuum pump, and if the presence of correct filters is not detected, it may simply log in memory 57 the fact that no correct identity signal has been recorded, this fact appearing with other performance data for the machine. A similar arrangement is shown for the vacuum pump of Fig. 5.
- An in-line filter can also have a transponder 70 fed with interrogating signals e.g. by means of an antenna 72.
- the filter medium usually takes the form of a tube 61 of pleated, wrapped or molded glass microfibre which is closed by metal or plastics end caps at each end.
- the identification device may be concealed within one or other of the end caps, and preferably within the end cap intended to fit within a filter head attached in-line or to a compressor, vacuum pump or other active device.
- one of the end caps may have a memory chip on or buried within it, the chip having an identity code recorded in memory and a connection to a metal component of the filter (which will normally be connected to earth) and a data lead.
- such a data lead may go to a contact nib 60 projecting from end cap 62 which when the filter is correctly positioned mates with a contact 64 in an adjoining portion 66 of the filter head.
- a contact ring 68 replaces the nib 60 so that a connection is made with the terminal 54 of the filter head irrespective of the angular position of the filter.
- Interrogation signals can then be transmitted directly from the filter head to a silicon serial number or other memory device fitted on or in the filter, and stored identity information can be recovered therefrom.
- a control unit can therefore check whether an approved filter is being used and by checking its internal clock whether correct filter exchange times are being obeyed.
- Means may be provided to measure the pressure drop across the coalescing and/or intake filters and may be arranged to generate a signal when the pressure drop has reached a predetermined value signifying that the filter element has reached the end of its useful life. If the time required is less than the manufacturer's service interval, the internal records of the compressor, vacuum pump or other active device may show that this is because an authentic replacement filter was not fitted.
- the invention is applicable to other forms of fluid filter e.g. oil filters for internal combustion engines.
- fluid filter e.g. oil filters for internal combustion engines.
- it can be used for air intake filters for internal combustion engines and compressed air systems used throughout the transport industry including aircraft, trains, ships, automobiles and goods vehicles.
- compressors used to provide a supply of compressed air for a ring- main system for a factory, hospital or other place where compressed air is used as a source of energy.
- underground interception filters for installations made by Conder and other manufacturers to condition outflow water from interceptor tanks of industrial installations (e.g. petroleum retail forecourts) or waste water prior to discharge into a coarse sewer or water-way.
- Fig 9 there is shown part of a filter having a plastics end cap 70 formed with an annular flanged and upturned region defining a resin well 72 which is formed with a recess 74 for receiving a memory chip 76 which could be a Dallas Silicon Serial Number or the like.
- a memory chip 76 which could be a Dallas Silicon Serial Number or the like.
- One side of the chip is grounded by connection (not shown) to metallic parts of the filter cartridge and its data pin is connected to a terminal 78 that appears through the exposed face of the end cap.
- the filter has inner and outer sleeves 80, 82 of expanded metal between which is sandwiched a mounded glass fibre coalescing filter 84. On the outer face of the sleeve 82 there is provided a drainage layer of non- woven material.
